The Script
Saving Ophelia
Ophelia makes her way up the school drive, into the school reception building and ascends the stairs. Near the top, she trips over a step and her glasses fall off onto the hallway floor. As she reaches for them, another hand does too and they touch for a few seconds. Ophelia and Derek look at each wide-eyed, before Ophelia pulls back her hand quickly and blushes.
Derek: Here you go.
He smiles as they both straighten up and he hands her the glasses, Ophelia still looking at the floor and blushing.
Derek: Are you new here?
Ophelia: (Nodding) Yes.
Derek: Would you like me to show you to the student office?
Ophelia: Um, okay, yes, thank you…
Derek starts off down the hallway, glances back over his shoulder and smiles at Ophelia.
Derek: This way then.
As they walk away down the hallway:
Derek: I’m Derek, by the way.
Ophelia: I’m Ophelia.

Filming
In todays lesson Stevie and I began to edit our coursework piece. We uploaded everything from the camera to the computer and deleted what we didn't need. We then began to spilt some scenes ready for adding titles and sound (music).
We felt that some of the scenes are not as fluid as they could be, yet we think that they can be corrected in another lesson of editing.

Filming
During Thursdays lesson Stevie and I filmed the main bulk of our coursework piece. After a few difficulties securing an actor to play Derek (our first actor refused to play the part) we managed to find someone to act for us (Omi).
It was pretty successful and we didn't come across any major difficulties. However, after playing it back we discovered that there was a lot of background noise, something we'll have to sort out whilst editing.
The only thing left to film now is the middle section where Ophelia is walking towards to the reception, which we can do during Mondays lesson.

Filming
During Mondays lesson Stevie and I began filming for our coursework piece. After struggling to find actors we decided that I would play the part of Ophelia. That way, it would be easier to direct the piece beacuse I know the plot/camera angles/script very well.
We managed to capture the very opening scene, as Ophelia walks up the school drive. When we got back to the classroom we uploaded the film and used Adobe Premiere Elements to edit what we had done.
In the next lesson, we are planning to film the scenes where Ophelia and Derek meet for the first time.
